About Sequoia
Sequoia San Juan is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, panic attacks, grief, and relationship struggles. She frames therapy as a calm space where clients can set down what they carry and be met with gentleness instead of pressure. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel heard and understood quickly.
Sequoia listens closely to each person's story and works at a pace that respects emotional limits. She uses practical tools when they fit the moment, such as exercises to steady breathing, steps to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and prompts to notice what matters most. Work often focuses on reducing panic symptoms, easing social anxiety, and rebuilding emotional steadiness after trauma or loss.
Sessions combine gentle reflection with hands-on techniques. Clients can expect moments of listening, guided mindfulness, and structured problem-solving. Sequoia also draws on narrative approaches to help people reframe painful experiences and make sense of recurring patterns.
With seven years of clinical experience, she pays attention to how relationships, family roles, and life transitions shape stress and self-worth. She supports people working through intimacy concerns, isolation, and questions about life purpose in addition to anxiety and mood concerns.
Sequoia works with adults, teens, and couples, meeting each person where they are and helping them build clearer ways forward. To start, readers are encouraged to use the site's Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and topics. It helps people who need understanding and steady support while they sort through difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is about identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It can be useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, and day-to-day stress by giving clear steps to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce the intensity of panic and to ground anxiety as it arises. These practices are short and can be used when feelings spike.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit those needs. That process is collaborative and can change over time as progress is made.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight, and support using breathing and grounding exercises in everyday settings without travel.
